Jonathon Brooks Set to Make Long-Awaited Return in Preseason Clash vs Bills
Jonathon Brooks will make his first live NFL appearance since 2024 as Panthers HC Dave Canales confirms he'll play vs. the Bills.
The Carolina Panthers have announced that running back Jonathon Brooks will take part in their preseason game against the Buffalo Bills at the new Highmark Stadium. Brooks was one of the most anticipated rookies in the NFL two years ago when the Panthers drafted him with the 46th overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft. After rushing for 1,139 yards and 10 touchdowns during his time at Texas, Brooks suffered two torn ACLs in his knee in less than three years, which prevented him from making his NFL debut until Week 12 of his rookie year.
However, he is now ready to play and expects to mix in and out with Chuba Hubbard during the game, allowing the team to assess both players' abilities. The Panthers are looking to build on last year's success and a strong run game led by Hubbard and Brooks will be crucial in achieving this.
